Australian filmmaker Sean Byrne (The Loved Ones, The Devil’s Candy) heads into shark-infested waters with new horror movie Dangerous Animals, and Variety reports this morning that IFC Films and Shudder have acquired U.S. distribution rights to the film.
Dangerous Animals swims to theaters in the U.S. on June 6, 2025.
Hassie Harrison (“Yellowstone”), Jai Courtney (Terminator Genisys) and Josh Heuston (“Heartbreak High”) lead the cast of Sean Byrne’s shark movie Dangerous Animals.
In Dangerous Animals, “Zephyr (Harrison), described as a savvy and free-spirited surfer, is abducted by a shark-obsessed serial killer (Courtney). Held captive on his boat, she must figure out how to escape before he carries out a ritualistic feeding to the sharks below.
“The only person who realizes she is missing is new love interest Moses (Hueston), who goes looking for Zephyr, only to be caught by the deranged murderer as well.”
Shudder’s Emily Gotto said in a statement, “Sean Byrne is one of the most visceral filmmakers in the current genre space and we are thrilled to join forces with him again on Dangerous Animals. In this film, he ventures boldly into two of horror’s most terrifying realms—serial killers and sharks—fusing them into a singularly intense and ferocious spectacle. Prepare for a groundbreaking cinematic experience that will leave you breathless this summer.”
Byrne teases, “There have been a lot of shark films over the years but, I promise, none like this, where audiences are left to decipher who the deadliest creature really is – man or animal. It’s a survival horror experience with teeth that screams to be seen on the big screen.”
Nick Lepard wrote the screenplay for Dangerous Animals, which comes courtesy of Brouhaha Entertainment, LD Entertainment, Oddfellows Entertainment, and Range Media Partners.
Writer in the horror community since 2008. Editor in Chief of Bloody Disgusting. Owns Eli Roth’s prop corpse from Piranha 3D. Has four awesome cats. Still plays with toys.

“In all my years as a licensed mortician, I’ve never seen anything like this.”
Writer-director Osgood Perkins and star Theo James sat down with a pair of actual morticians to get their professional opinions on The Monkey.
Based on the Stephen King short story, the film opens in theaters on February 21 from Neon.
When twin brothers find a mysterious wind-up monkey, a series of outrageous deaths tear their family apart. 25 years later, the monkey begins a new killing spree forcing the estranged brothers to confront the cursed toy.
James Wan produces the gory horror comedy.
Tatiana Maslany, Elijah Wood, Christian Convery, Colin O’Brien, Rohan Campbell, and Sarah Levy also star.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “With brisk storytelling efficiency and a playful spirit, The Monkey delivers a Stephen King adaptation like no other. Perkins pushes back against logic in favor of entertaining midnight madness, and death has never been funnier or gorier as a result.”
Bloody Disgusting is celebrating the release of The Monkey with Stephen King Week, including giving away a 1/50 resin sculpt from the original monkey.
